 Buyer Beware December 14, 2006

Like everyone else I was so excited when this movie became available, it is a great guiltly pleasure. And it was going to be a wonderful suprise for one of my little brothers Christmas presents, I also love this movie, and when it arrived I ran to the living room and poped it into my DVD player; this is when my excitement turned into anger and it continued to get worse as I communicated with the sellers! NO RETURNS, NO REFUNDS, NO REPLACEMENTS!! BE SURE TO KEEP READING BELOW! BUYER BEWARE!!!!
TO EVERYONE THINKING ABOUT BUYING FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!
BUYER BEWARE! Only after I complained did they put on the page that it will not play in "American" DVD players. The movie was only in German...I SPEAK AND UNDERSTAND ENGLISH...I AM AN AMERICAN, BORN AND BREAD!! If you open the package they will not accept a return nor will they replace it with an English version! My question is this; how will you know it is not in English or play in your player if you do not open it. Their return policy was not listed, and they just put on the page that is not playable in "OUR" DVD players. Amazon is great, they will fix it and make things right. The one thing they should do is put these people under review for their selling practices, and then terminate their selling power! I SPEAK ENGLISH, NOT GERMAN!!!!!

Let's keep it real, it was no surprise when Airborne didn't beat Saving Private Ryan or Life is beautiful at the oscars. And you most likely won't find Shane Mcdermott's hands in cement on the Hollywood walk of fame. But nevertheless Airborne is just one of those films that you don't expect to even be able to watch and you wind up with it in you top ten archive. How more cliche can you get than good looking California surfer dude? But Airbore has a familar theme on which we all can relate. Being picked on in school and trying to overcome peerpressure and the temptation of violence, that and a big dam surfboard. Mitchell Goosen is completely taken out of his element as his nerdy brainiac parents have to go to Australia for 8 months to study some kinda bats. But being under the legal age and still in school Mitchell is forced to go live with his relatives in boring midwest Cincinatti [i live pretty close and trust me..it is]. The pacific is 2000 miles away, no dog, no tan girls, not even "a decent buriedo for god's sake". Being from California he is naturally charming, good looking, surfer dude and the ladies go gaga. The class jocks don't care for his advances and the rest is history.....wicked rollerblading effects, good music [except for the bobby brown] and it has the ever so hot Britney Powell. I highly recommend it.

Good: Well, I had to give this movie a 5 because anyone who likes Seth Green and Jack Black today, really need to see this movie. You'll see both of them in early greatness.
It's good to see the supporting roles moving on to become way more well known than any of the stars in these older films. You'll see some supporting roles in this film for years to come, such as Seth's parents and the girl he tries to impress. You'll have to watch it to see who I'm talking about.
Bad: It IS a bit dated and for lack of a better word, cheezy, (hangs head low) but it's funny and nostalgic.
Have fun watching.

This movie gets high marks because it succeeds in exactly what it tries to be: a meaningless B-movie about a bunch of stupid teenagers living in an adolescent fantasy world where no one studies, works, or needs a car. It never tries to be anything more than that, and anyone who was disappointed that Airborne did not turn out to be The Godfather needs to take this movie for what it is: teenage junk - but very entertaining junk.
Man, this movie is stupid. It's the guilty pleasure of Saved by the Bell, but packaged in movie-form. Every character is cheesy, and nothing is believable but you can't help but watch because you want to see how much stupider it will get. It's great. I first saw this on cable while I was in college, living in the dorms, when almost my entire hall - by accident - tuned in during the climactic race down Devil's Backbone. That year, it seemed like Airborne was always on cable, and like Saved by the bell, I always watched.
The main character, Mitchell, is such a prissy-boy loser, that only a prissy-boy loser would root for him. The teenage bad guys, who fifteen years later STILL look older than I do, are so fake-macho that you can't help but laugh and cheer them on at the same time. In the end, this turns out to be a bad version of the Karate Kid on roller blades.
How excited was I when one day, I found this movie in a video store. Now when people ask me if I've seen Airborne (and ask me they do), I can proudly say, "See it? I OWN it!" And let's not forget that this movie spawned the acting careers of the great Seth Green and Jack Black.
I only wait on pins and needles, for the DVD `special extended version,' with deleted scenes and cast commentary. Sadly, I feel this is a day that will never come...

Though perhaps not the greatest movie in the world, Airborne is a worthy tribute. Not just another run of the mill "Surfer goes to Cincy" movie! Brilliant beyond words if just for the outstanding yet once again overlooked by the academy awards performance by JACK BLACK. Is he an angel? Nay! He is but a man. (Not Nastyman, mind you. That would be Kyle.) Rikka goo goo. Rikka rikka goo goo!
